Re: [platform-core-dev] Hello platform team!

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome Michael!

Eclipse is a huge project so there are
many different ways and areas one can contribute. To get you started here
are some pointers to look at:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_contribute
- A general wiki page on contributing to Eclipse projects
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute
- A wiki page on contributing to Eclipse platform UI, although much of
the information there applies to other Eclipse platform components.
http://tinyurl.com/eclipse-help-wanted
 - A query of Eclipse platform
bug reports with the "helpwanted" keyword. These are typically
bugs that Eclipse committers have identified as appropriate for a newer
contributor to get involved with. There are 1500 bugs in that list today
so lots of ways to get started!

Hope that helps,
John

Subject	[platform-core-dev] Hello platform team!

If anyone is out there:

I came across your project while working with an SWT project
where one of my UI's was blocking on a thread, and the internet suggested
that I implement my project as an eclipse RCP application. I found the
eclipse runtime projects, and was intrigued by the idea of contributing
to eclipse, so here I am. I'm not sure I have all the "requisite knowledge"
to start contributing right away, however I'm very interested in learning
more about the java runtime environment. I figured that it would be awesome
if I could both learn about java internals and also contribute to a project
as big as eclipse. I understand that I probably won't be contributing for
some time (still have a lot to learn), but I was wondering if you had some
suggestions about where to start with the idea of eventually being able
to give back to the community.

Thanks for any help!
